a brilliant idea

hey, seymour hersh just wrote an article for the new yorker about a really great idea some people in the bush administration had! let’s nuke iran! yup, that’s right, bush and friends are planning on starting a nuclear war! isn’t that awesome? this time, the smoking gun really will come in the form of a mushroom cloud! and iran is allies with russia and china! did you know, they have nukes too? i wonder if we nuked iran, would the russians and the chinese nuke us? that would be so glorious! most of bush’s supporters are born-again christians who voted for him because they believe in the coming of the biblical apocalypse, the end of the world, and they want him to make it happen as soon as possible! you wanna know how i know that? kevin phillips, a former high-level republican strategist, wrote that in his new book american theocracy. aren’t republicans wonderful? an entire political party, dedicated to an agenda of bringing about the end of the world so that the second coming of christ will happen, and exactly 144,000 people will vanish into thin air simultaneously in the “rapture”. this is why born-again christians make me sick, because they are hell-bent on destroying the planet earth and killing all humans. shiite muslim fundamentalists, such as those who run iran, have a similar messianic bloodthirst for destruction. they think that the mehdi, the hidden imam, is the messiah, and that he will return and save the world, when the apocalypse comes, and that it is good to help the apocalypse happen as soon as possible. isn’t it ironic that although jesus christ preached a message of peace, nonviolence, and loving your enemies, his most fervent followers nowadays are bloodthirsty lunatics who want to destroy everything? now yes, most christians are not like that, i admit, and probably most shiite muslims are not like that either. but we have crazy fanatics running the united states and iran, and both sides are hell-bent on starting a nuclear war. so please forgive me for sounding grim; i just don’t want to be vaporized by a nuclear bomb, and i sure as hell don’t trust anyone in a warmongering administration that rejects the findings of modern science. the doctrine of mutual assured destruction cannot protect us any longer, when our leaders actively seek out destruction as a primary objective, and our president believes himself to be the infallible right hand of god. i still cannot fathom how anyone could possibly have been crazy enough to vote for this madman.
